The ProblemInefficiencies in Project Management
The Problem
• Too many emails asking what’s going on• Lose track of what’s what and project progression
• Meetings too long• Spend too much time creating meeting agendas trying to figure out
what we all did over the past month
• Spend too much time discussing the actual work accomplished
• Forgotten Projects
• Too many to-do lists that never got checked off
The Solution
The Solution
• All of our back and forth about a project or task is tracked within the task itself, including attachments
The Solution
• Our monthly meetings last about 15 minutes
• Creating an agenda for the meetings is greatly reduced as well.• All tasks and projects are in Asana
rather than in a million different places (email, libstats, folders, notebooks, etc)
The Solution
• Projects are not lost or forgotten• Due Dates are assigned
• Additional information is added when needed
• Add-ons to track time it takes to complete a task
The Solution
• Checklist is more organized.
• Easier to accomplish set goals.
